目的:探讨体外模拟正畸牙移动过程中机械压力对人牙周膜干细胞(HPDLSC)凋亡相关蛋白表达的影响。方法:将体外培养的HPDLSC分别在自行研发的加压力装置中进行100、200 Kpa加压1、6和12 h后,检测和比较其凋亡相关蛋白caspase-3和caspase-8的表达;流式细胞仪检测其凋亡状态。结果:100 Kpa加压1 h的HPDLSCs中caspase-3和caspase-8的蛋白表达及其凋亡水平均显著高于对照组(P〈0.05),而加力12 h的HPDLSCs中caspase-3和caspase-8的蛋白表达和凋亡水平与对照组比较无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。200 Kpa加力1 h的HPDLSCs中caspase-3和caspase-8的蛋白表达和凋亡水平均显著低于对照组(P〈0.05),而加力12 h的HPDLSCs中caspase-3和caspase-8的蛋白表达和凋亡水平与对照组比较无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。结论:在体外模拟正畸牙移动过程中,不同强度静态压力作用不同时间对人牙周膜干细胞的凋亡作用不同,100 Kpa静态加力加压1 h可更有效地促进人牙周膜干细胞的凋亡,而200 Kpa静态加力加压1 h可抑制人牙周膜干细胞的凋亡。
Objective: To investigate the effect of static pressure on the expression of apoptosis related protein in HPDLSCs. Methods: HPDLSCs cultured in vitro were incubated under continuous static pressure of 100 Kpa and 200 Kpa for 1 h, 6 h and 12 h. The expression of apoptosis related protein caspase-3 and caspase-8 in HPDLSCs were tested by Western Blot. The apoptosis level of HPDLSCs was determined by Flow cytometry. Results: Under the static pressure of 100 Kpa for 1 h, both the expressions of the apoptosis related protein caspase-3 and caspase-8 and the level of apoptosis increased more significantly than that of the controls (P〈0.05), but no statistical significance was found when the static pressure continued for 12 h (P〉0.05). Under the static pressure of 200 Kpa for 1 h, both the expressions of the apoptosis related protein caspase-3 and caspase-8 and the level of apoptosis were lower than that of the controls (P〈0.05), but no statistical significance was found when the static pressure continued for 12 h (P〉0.05). Conclusions: Continuous static pressure of 100 kpa for 1 h promotes apoptosis, while continuous static pressure of 200 kpa for 1 h inhibits apoptosis.
